"I am an indie app developer with very little marketing budget and had to invest it wisely. We used prMac to announce the release of our app and one month later used their Video PR to showcase an update to our app. Since then, our app went to #1 in 23 countries and top 5 in 50 more during a 2 day free promo. A week later we were picked up by the App Store and are now featured on the iTunes home page as a Best New App in 36 countries and featured in 108 more places in iTunes. This is the software developer's holy grail. We could not achieved this without the help of prMac. They are the real deal and were instrumental to our success."

"Getting started with software publishing involves lots of uncertainties and confusions, so it was a huge relief to have prMac write our press release as well as guide us through the process of issuing it. We saved a lot of time, and our press release is much better than it would have been without their help."
